I thought he was an INTP for the longest time and most probably do by looking at his art, but if you actually look at what he has to say about his work and thought process, he's definitely INTJ.

INTJ. His art was always based on internal, subjective visions and he used mathematical concepts to best translate those visions into art and felt more in common with mathematicians than with artists, but was self-taught and had an intuitive rather than academic understanding of mathematics. He also believed "we adore chaos because we love to produce order" and that there was an order to the universe. He was also driven from within/internally motivated to create art ("I believe that producing pictures, as I do, is almost solely a question of wanting so very much to do it well"). Explored paradoxes/infinities/tesselations and what he calls "the absurd" in his art and did so with a working and strong but not over-intellectual understanding of mathematics. A very clear INTJ to me.
